Fantastic views of the Etangs and the Pyrenees. Well marked easy walks along the beach, which is often deserted, and through the vineyards. Stop at La Cambuse du Saunier on the way home.

The absolute best beach in this region! White sand and clear waters never too crowded, a must in the summer. We always book ahead at Chez Biquet for sunbeds and lunch. They also have DJ every night in the summer. This place is our favorite!

The closest beach to Maisonnarbonne - we don’t care for Narbonne plage but Gruissan is fine for a day but check to see if it is windy and do not go if it is! Big wide long sandy beach. Eat at Paparazzo or stay at Lea Cabine with sun loungers and good food

Lovely town about 30-40 minutes away with a clear river where you can swim or canoe. Really lovely views and the town is set on water. The drive from Maisonnarbonne is lovely with little villages and you can stop and taste wine all the way!
